Illusions
The little wooden house was located in a big and dark forest, there lived a couple. They had no pets neither children, it was only the two of them.
The woman really liked their life ; calm and cosy. And that morning was just like the others.
She woke up early in their big size bed and headed out to the kitchen to prepare two cups of coffee as usual. When it was done, she picked up the newspapers on the entry.
The wife sat in the living room and started to read while drinking her coffee.
How unfortunate was the fate of the people in the main article she thought, it was about a car accident that caused the death of one of the two persons who were in.
She sighed and looked out the window, she saw the shadow of her husband pass by, which meant it was time for her to go to work.
She finished her coffee, dressed up quickly and closed the house to go get her car.
And before starting the vehicle she heard << Have a good day honey! >>
The day had been hard, and it was exhausted that the woman returned at her place. It was already dark outside ; she didn't even know what time it was.
She entered the house to find her empty cup and a full and cold one. He didn't drink it again. She just put it in the sink and went to the bedroom. The mass that was taking half of the bed indicated her that her lover was asleep. She did the same, cradled by his snores.
That was their daily routine, time after time, day after day, she would woke up, prepare them coffee, and read newspaper and what a boring one!
Always talking about that car accident. She would go to work saying goodbye to the man of the house and come back late, too tired to eat anything. Just finding her empty cup and the full one.
Then joining her sleeping husband for the night.
And it all would start again, coffee, car accident, work, husband and sleep. That had never been a problem, she liked it and wouldn't ever want to change it.
But one day, as she came back from work, she had a bad feeling.
The night had fall, and silence reigned in the forest. She got out of the car with a knot in her stomach. The lights were on, wasn't her husband sleeping yet?
She entered the house very slowly, making the door creaked and slammed it. She looked for him but there was no sign of him. Then she heard some mumbles coming from the kitchen. She followed the sound of his voice and found him with an annoyed look on his face. When he saw her, their eyes met and she felt shivers in her whole body.
He started yelling at her, maybe even to himself because of his confused and mixed words. She turned pale when he grabbed two plates and suddenly threw them on the floor. Making resounding loud breaking noises. And she benched as he approached her with dark eyes, he raised his fist and she closed her eyes to mitigate the blow.
Everything went black.
When she opened her eyes again hours later, she stood up, prepared two cups of coffee, went to the entrance–
Knock knock
Was he already here?
She opened the door to see the doctor, she let him in and he declared :
<< Glad to see you again Mrs., how have things been?
- Better I suppose.
- Good. I've come to bring you your monthly medecines. He said as he putted a little white box out of his bag. But is this a bruise on your cheek? Where does it come from?
- Oh... Hum, I can't clearly remember... She said confused. >>
She took her pills and said goodbye to the doctor. She sighed in relief and took her treatment. Nothing happened, nothing.
She smiled. The newspapers in hand, she read it while drinking, the main article was about the inauguration of a primary school. She went to work without even looking at the window. She worked all day as always and when she came back she cleaned the cups.
The house was empty, she could only hear her own breath. She went in her bed, took her pills and closed her eyes.
She smiled as she felt the bed sag and heard a voice whispering ''Goodnight darling''.
